00:54.4
or an abortion provider, but as a person and as a woman and as someone who could become pregnant in the state of Florida.
01:02.5
I feel like it's all bad.
01:05.9
I feel like the abortion ban in general, like having it be illegal in the first place is bad for women.
01:13.7
Not only women, but young people in the coming generations because it's like they're not even taking us into consideration
01:20.7
and taking other possibilities or other mindsets.
01:24.4
Or opinions into consideration.
01:26.0
So the fact that they moved it down or like lowered it to 6 weeks is crazy to me.
01:38.2
I'm pretty disappointed.
01:40.4
I think that having an abortion ban in Florida, especially when access to healthcare is already so hard here,
01:50.0
just makes it a lot worse.
01:51.4
And I think that, honestly, I think that...
01:54.4
the future holds a lot of deaths.
01:59.3
So, that's it, yeah.
02:10.4
It's tough and I think it's a tough situation to raise a kid in.
02:14.8
My mom had me really young. She had me at 15.
02:17.6
So, I've seen what it's like to really struggle.
02:22.1
To like, sacrifice your own marriage.
02:24.4
You know, because your kid has to eat.
02:26.4
And it shouldn't have to be like that, you know what I mean?
02:28.4
So, that's kind of what I think about it.
02:37.3
There aren't enough states left with abortion access to absorb tens of thousands of patients.
02:44.9
With this 6-week ban, there will be an abortion desert in the south of our country.
02:50.9
Further worsening the national public health crisis,
02:53.9
created by the fall of Roe.
02:55.9
Patients are now forced to travel thousands of miles,
02:59.9
away from their support systems,
03:01.9
their own providers that they trust,
03:03.9
just because Florida's government doesn't trust them
03:07.9
to make decisions with their families and their providers.
03:13.9
You can be the mother God calls you to be a man.
03:15.9
You can be the mother God calls you to be a man.
03:18.9
The 6-week ban, the heartbeat bill, as it's been called, is...
03:23.9
I mean, it got bipartisan support.
03:25.9
A lot of Democrats supported it here in Texas.
03:28.9
We have a record number of medical resources for women and a surplus.
03:32.9
The birth rate went up in Texas.
03:34.9
And what will happen, you shouldn't worry and many people shouldn't worry
03:38.9
because we've seen it in other states.
03:40.9
The sun comes up the next day after a 6-week abortion ban or an all-out abortion ban.
03:47.9
When Roe was overturned, we were told by Whoopi Goldberg that it was going to be like
03:51.9
the old days where we're stepping over dead women in the bathroom.
03:55.9
Hillary Clinton tweeted out, women will die.
03:57.9
No one's died because they haven't had access to an abortion.
04:02.9
There are no dead women laying in our streets.
04:06.9
The world can move on without abortion.
04:09.9
And I think we've been programmed that this is an urgent need in our society and it's not.
04:21.9
I think for all women it feels like there's no choice.
04:24.9
I mean, no woman has an abortion because of freedom or because of choice.
04:28.9
They have an abortion because they feel they have no freedom,
04:31.9
because they feel they have no choice.
04:34.9
And whether they take us up on our offer to give them another option at the last moment,
04:40.9
offer free medical care, typically they're very appreciative of it
04:45.9
because it is a difficult choice and we do offer one last chance, you know,
04:50.9
to turn around and many women do turn around.
04:54.9
It doesn't matter what part of the country, what part of the world you're in.
04:58.9
And so I think it's very important for that and of course we're grateful for our freedom of speech
05:04.9
to be able to do that.
05:12.9
Men are the problem right now.
05:14.9
It's a man's world.
05:15.9
Most abortion facilities are owned by men.
05:18.9
Most abortion doctors are men.
05:20.9
No one benefits from abortion except for bad, irresponsible men.
05:25.9
They're the real winners in this.
05:27.9
It's not the women they have to lay on the table.
05:29.9
They often have to pay for it by themselves.
05:31.9
They're often alone.
05:33.9
The men are nowhere to be found in our experience on the day of the abortion.
05:37.9
Men have been the problem, I think,
05:40.9
and I think there needs to be a turnaround of that and men stepping up.
05:50.9
You know, my body, my choice.
05:58.9
You can't really go streaking in most parts of our country
06:01.9
and tell the cops, my body, my choice.
06:03.9
We have to wear a seatbelt, you know, for crying out loud.
06:05.9
I can't go into the locker room of the Dallas Cowboys and start working out
06:09.9
and when the security guards come say, hey man, my body, my choice.
06:13.9
We regulate our bodies particularly when they are harmful to somebody else's.
06:19.9
Nobody going in for an abortion would say that they have ten toes.
06:22.9
There's another body growing within them and that's frankly the problem.
06:26.9
The fact that there's another body is the problem.
06:29.9
That's why people seek abortion.
06:31.9
They don't want that body to keep growing because they don't want a baby for whatever reason.
06:35.9
And so the other body, which we strip the rights from, is the problem.
06:43.9
And so nobody's aborting themselves.
06:45.9
Nobody's cutting off their own leg
06:48.9
or dismembering their own body.
06:49.9
Nobody's cutting off their own limbs.
06:51.9
So the my body, my choice, it sounds good and it's fun to put on a sign
06:56.9
but it's just made up and false.
07:19.9
I think it means a lot more deaths, honestly,
07:35.9
because six weeks is not really a lot of time.
07:38.9
And then I feel like abortion, it's still going to happen.
07:43.9
Whether it happens legally or illegally, it'll happen on the streets.
07:46.9
It'll just be unsafe.
07:47.9
So I think Florida should really stop.
07:48.9
So I think Florida should really think it through
07:50.9
to keep women safe.
08:15.9
I am five weeks pregnant.
08:17.9
And I am not ready to be a mom just yet.
08:21.9
And it was really all a big mistake.
08:23.9
And this place has been great.
08:25.9
They have, um, we were here early hours in a day
08:28.9
to be safe from the world, from everyone else.
08:30.9
They have escorters to escort us in from, like, campaigners
08:34.9
and people who are against us.
08:35.9
They make us feel safe.
08:39.9
I can walk you right down the streets to the pink house here.
08:42.9
You don't have to do this today.
08:44.9
I can take you right down, all the help you need.
08:47.9
Everything you need.
09:02.9
We are the only clinic in, like, five counties.
09:05.9
And we get patients from Okeechobee, Fort Myers,
09:09.9
Melbourne, Palm Bay,
09:11.9
India Atlantic, Coco,
09:15.9
people come to us from all over.
09:20.9
And we get calls every day needing our services.
09:25.9
And some of the people we've had to turn away
09:28.9
because that was May 1st.
09:31.9
We can't get, they can't get an abortion after six weeks.
09:35.9
And a lot of girls don't even know they're pregnant
09:37.9
until they're six weeks.
09:38.9
You know, they think they're four weeks
09:40.9
because they haven't seen their period yet.
09:42.9
So, and then we do our ultrasound,
09:44.9
and they're six already,
09:45.9
and the patients have to be seen two different days.
09:48.9
So that's going to encumber the patients
09:51.9
because our doctors are only here Saturdays and Mondays.
10:14.9
I mean, I just don't understand all this.
10:15.9
All these regulations they're trying to put on women.
10:16.9
I mean, they're making us second-class citizens.
10:18.9
I can't get pregnant anymore.
10:19.9
But there are so many young girls out there.
10:20.9
And a lot of people don't even know this is going on.
10:21.9
We told patients over and over again yesterday,
10:22.9
or potential patients yesterday,
10:23.9
they had no idea.
10:24.9
So then they scramble,
10:25.9
well, can you get me in this weekend?
10:26.9
Can you get me in this weekend?
10:27.9
Can you get me in this weekend?
10:28.9
So, I don't know.
10:39.9
So then they scramble,
10:40.9
well, can you get me in this weekend?
10:41.9
Can you get me in this weekend?
10:42.9
Can you get me in this weekend?
10:44.9
So I accommodated as many people as we could.
10:47.2
Like you can see, we're a small clinic,
10:50.2
a small waiting area,
10:51.7
and we're doing the best we can this weekend.
10:53.8
But it's scary for the rest of the girls that can't get in.
11:08.9
The climate that we're in, especially here in Florida, I feel that I wanted to do something.
11:20.1
I support the associations financially, but I also wanted to do something.
11:25.2
And coming here, helping the women, just being a friendly face for the women and escorting them,
11:33.1
that seems to be good for them and it also makes me feel better.
11:37.5
I feel like I'm doing something to make them feel better.
11:58.9
It's sad. It's bleak.
12:00.6
I have a daughter who's 34 and it really saddens me that we have come back
12:07.4
and we have come back and we have come back and we have come back and we have come back.
12:07.5
I'm hoping the government has instituted these crazy bans.
12:13.1
Women have gained so many rights.
12:15.3
We have gone so far in the past 50 years.
12:18.3
Women are not going to go back.
12:19.7
And I'm hoping that, you know, I work as a poll worker as well and I work to register people
12:26.4
and I just hope that young women especially, it's going to be up to them to turn out and vote in November.
12:32.4
In Florida, we have an amendment, a ballot initiative,
12:36.7
to, you know, make sure that abortion rights, reproductive rights, are legal in this state.
12:48.4
I have to wait for my son to open up.
12:54.5
My hat came from Cracker Barrel.
13:01.3
You believe that? Cracker Barrel.
13:04.1
It looks a little salty today.
13:06.1
It's been in the oven.
13:06.7
I'm here because abortion has hurt me.
13:11.9
And I certainly don't want to see other women hurt by abortion.
13:15.1
They walk in the door and they never come out the same.
13:18.5
No matter how they try to go on with life as normal, they'll never be the same.
13:23.8
So, whether or not they've had all the risk and education when they walk in this door,
13:31.2
I hope they have, but it's probably not the case.
13:36.3
Many of them have.
13:36.7
Many of them have.
13:36.9
Many of them have not been told what might happen afterwards.
13:39.9
So, if they've had a surgical abortion,
13:42.6
they might have never been told that they might never have children again.
13:47.1
Second pregnancy, probably will end up in miscarriage.
13:50.8
Sexual dysfunction, broken relationships,
13:55.1
anniversary reactions of illness that coincide with an abortion date,
13:59.6
there's multiple things that can happen after an abortion.
14:06.7
The doctor would tell you that life begins on Saturday.
14:14.5
You're not a doctor, but you're a mom.
14:17.3
You're not a doctor, but you'll be your lord and guard over you if you'll receive Jesus into your heart.
14:25.5
I believe it will be.
14:27.1
I mean, that's what everybody I talk to says because we had to get all those signatures to get it on the ballot.
14:35.1
And then we did that.
14:36.1
A lot of people did.
14:36.7
I didn't think we were going to be able to do that, but we did that.
14:39.2
And if every woman who votes, votes for yes on amendment,
14:44.1
she can be Republican or Democrat, but she can still vote yes on amendment four,
14:51.2
I have faith that it will pass.
14:55.1
but we've got to vote.
14:59.5
They've got to vote.
15:01.2
They've got to vote.
15:06.7
But we've got it down pat.
15:10.8
We know how to, we know how to do it.
15:16.0
This is the surgery room.
15:17.2
Chan's in here cleaning up from today.
15:26.7
Happy ultrasound.
15:28.5
All the supplies are in there.
15:29.9
The emergency drugs.
